Anyone who was a teenager or young adult at the beginning of the millennium must certainly remember the controversial fashion where people wore dresses over trousers. The famous aesthetic of the 2000s is back and promises to win over fashionistas.

The characteristic style of the time now appears revamped with the new Y2K trend — an acronym from the English “Year 2K”, in free translation, “2000s” — and features everything from the low waist and pantaloons to the bandanas and the controversial combo: dress with pants.

Check out some outfit options and see how the controversial combination can positively surprise you, and thus help you adhere to the trend.

When we think about the dress and pants aesthetic, we immediately remember the image of the dress over jeans. This classic combination continues to be on the rise and is one of the bets most used by those who adhere to the Y2K trend. If you want to revive your old looks or venture out for the first time, opt for jeans with light spaghetti strap dresses, short dresses or even midi lengths. For your feet, have the freedom to choose between versions with sneakers, flat sandals, heels, boots, or whatever. The rule here is: feel comfortable.

For those who want to maintain elegance in daytime or nighttime looks without losing style, the tip is to opt for monochromatic pieces and use jeans with chemises. Opt for unicolor combinations of satin or organza, for example, this way you will achieve fluid and super elegant looks. A good tip are also chemises: wear them semi-open and achieve a perfect and sophisticated look for hot summer days.
